In this episode, Kanani sits down with artist, author, and traditional witch Laura Tempest Zakroff to explore the magic of sigil witchery. Together they break down what sigils are, how intention and symbolism shape their power, and why anyone can create meaningful magical marks, regardless of artistic skill.

Laura shares how her background in art naturally evolved into a magical practice, offers practical advice for crafting your own sigils, and explains the difference between personal sigils and the shared community sigils she creates for collective causes.

From magical creativity to the importance of discernment in a social media driven world, this conversation is a thoughtful look at how simple symbols can carry powerful intention.
